Notre Dame College is providing students who would have been seniors at St. Peter Chanel Catholic High School a chance to earn a diploma from their now-closed institution ─ and earn college credit at the same time.

Through the innovative Seniors at Notre Dame program, more than 20 of the high school students are dual enrolled on the College campus this fall. Upon successful completion of the school year, they will receive a 2014 high school diploma from St. Peter Chanel and could have up to 32 college credits, essentially a year toward a bachelor’s degree, completed.

Notre Dame College’s new dean of students has led campus life at postsecondary institutions for more than a decade, including directing a small living-learning community on a much larger university campus.

Notre Dame College is proud to present its sixth annual “Books That Changed the World” seminar series this fall, offering anyone with a passion for great books and lifelong learning the opportunity to meet and discuss a common theme for the year.This year’s seminar will study “America: Tales of Time and Place.”

Notre Dame College has named Beth Ford, M.A., previously dean of admissions and financial aid, the new dean of enrollment and hired Mary Ann Schneider, Ph.D., as interim dean of the Finn Center for Adult, Graduate and Professional Programs.

In addition to admissions and financial aid, in her new role, Ford is responsible for retention, orientation, athletic recruitment and enrollment marketing, among other related duties.
